We open a search for a graduate student to take part in study of double compact object merger populations formed in isolated binary evolution. This project is set to identify the origin of LIGO/Virgo sources of gravitational waves. Candidates with fluent English (speaking and writing), knowledge of stellar and binary evolution, and prior experience of working with population synthesis codes are favored.
A selected student will join the astrophysics group of Chris Belczynski and will work in a vibrant and international environment of Polish Academy of Science Center for Astrophysics (Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center) at Warsaw, Poland. The position is open for 4 years, starting October 1st, 2019. The competitive salary is being offered: 4500 PLN/month in the framework of the MAESTRO NCN Polish grant (no: 2018/30/A/ST9/00050).
